Application filed April 19, 1932. semi 110,606,0 9;

This invention relates to pencil holders and the like and has for an object an inexpensive efficient and serviceable combined pencil holder and clip for attaching the same to an object such, for example, as a folded score card, dance program or the like in such f manner that the card is held closed with the pencil covered by the card.

A holder embodying the invention comprises a single piece of sheet material out;

to form a rectangular central portion having integral arms extending from the ends and sides, these arms being bent at right angles to the central portion. One pair of arms have pointed ends which are embedded in a pencil interposed between the arms, the pencil being thus attached to the holder; The other pair of arms overlie the pencil and are Fig. '5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Fig;

piece of sheet material such as shown in Fig. 6 which may be metal orcomposition of sufficient tensile strength and resiliency for the purpose. The blank is provided with a i pair of pointed arms .10 which are folded into parallel relation to; each other and'receive the end ofa flat pencil 11 into which hold the pencil firmly. The blank isflalso... provided with arms 12 which are folded slightly spaced therefrom, these arms forming clips adapted to clasp the pliesof a folded article with the pencil interposed between the plies. i

This holderis particularly adapted for use in connection with pencils for keeping golf or other scores. The clip arms serve to hold the score card in tightly folded condition, and the pencil is always readily available merely by withdrawing the holder from the score card. The pencil point is protected as it is arranged between the plies of the score card.

The free ends of the arms 12 are curved out- Wardly slightlyfto facilitate placingthe pencil holder in'assembled relation with a score Furthermore, the holder fits the score card 7 snugly and offers no projections to interfere with slipping the score card into and out of pocket. Mutilation or soiling of the score card is prevented as the holder serves to keep the score card tightly folded.

Other objects, novel features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following specification and accompanying drawing, wherein:

thepointed ends are projected in order to into parallel relation to overlie the wide sides of the pencil and are, curved to conform' generally to the contour of the pencil; These arms are slightly spaced from the sides of the pencil so that the "associated witha folded score card or the like 13 as shownin Fig. 2, with the pencil inserted between the two plies of the score card and the .arms' 12 clasping the plies to.

The pencilholder is formed from singita holder may be" card. When in position on the scorecard,

the holder keepsthe score. card tightlyfold ed while the score card protects the pencil and as the holder fits tight to-the edge of the score card there areno projecting portions to interfere with slipping the score card int-c.

It is of course understood that various modifications may be made in the structure of the device above described, without in any way departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in th appended laimslmgg I claim: 7 V a .7
